1 The burden of the word of Jehovah, in the land of Hadrach, and [on] Damascus shall it rest; (for Jehovah hath an eye upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel;)

1 מַשָּׂ֤א דְבַר־יְהוָה֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חַדְרָ֔ךְ וְדַמֶּ֖שֶׂק מְנֻחָתֹ֑ו כִּ֤י לַֽיהוָה֙ עֵ֣ין אָדָ֔ם וְכֹ֖ל שִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

2 and also [on] Hamath [which] bordereth thereon; on Tyre and Zidon, though she be very wise.

2 וְגַם־חֲמָ֖ת תִּגְבָּל־בָּ֑הּ צֹ֣ר וְצִידֹ֔ון כִּ֥י חָֽכְמָ֖ה מְאֹֽד׃

3 And Tyre hath built herself a stronghold, and hath heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

3 וַתִּ֥בֶן צֹ֛ר מָצֹ֖ור לָ֑הּ וַתִּצְבָּר־כֶּ֙סֶף֙ כֶּֽעָפָ֔ר וְחָר֖וּץ כְּטִ֥יט חוּצֹֽות׃

4 Behold, the Lord will take possession of her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

4 הִנֵּ֤ה אֲדֹנָי֙ יֹֽורִשֶׁ֔נָּה וְהִכָּ֥ה בַיָּ֖ם חֵילָ֑הּ וְהִ֖יא בָּאֵ֥שׁ תֵּאָכֵֽל׃

5 Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear; Gazah also, and she shall be greatly pained; Ekron also, for her expectation shall be put to shame: and the king shall perish from Gazah, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

5 תֵּרֶ֨א אַשְׁקְלֹ֜ון וְתִירָ֗א וְעַזָּה֙ וְתָחִ֣יל מְאֹ֔ד וְעֶקְרֹ֖ון כִּֽי־הֹבִ֣ישׁ מֶבָּטָ֑הּ וְאָ֤בַד מֶ֙לֶךְ֙ מֵֽעַזָּ֔ה וְאַשְׁקְלֹ֖ון לֹ֥א תֵשֵֽׁב׃

6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines;

6 וְיָשַׁ֥ב מַמְזֵ֖ר בְּאַשְׁדֹּ֑וד וְהִכְרַתִּ֖י גְּאֹ֥ון פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃

7 and I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; but he that remaineth, he also shall belong to our God, and shall be as a leader in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

7 וַהֲסִרֹתִ֨י דָמָ֜יו מִפִּ֗יו וְשִׁקֻּצָיו֙ מִבֵּ֣ין שִׁנָּ֔יו וְנִשְׁאַ֥ר גַּם־ה֖וּא לֵֽאלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וְהָיָה֙ כְּאַלֻּ֣ף בִּֽיהוּדָ֔ה וְעֶקְרֹ֖ון כִּיבוּסִֽי׃

8 And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of those that pass by and that return; and the exactor shall not pass through them any more: for now have I seen [it] with mine eyes.

8 וְחָנִ֨יתִי לְבֵיתִ֤י מִצָּבָה֙ מֵעֹבֵ֣ר וּמִשָּׁ֔ב וְלֹֽא־יַעֲבֹ֧ר עֲלֵיהֶ֛ם עֹ֖וד נֹגֵ֑שׂ כִּ֥י עַתָּ֖ה רָאִ֥יתִי בְעֵינָֽי׃

9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion; shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh to thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly and rIding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.

9 גִּילִ֨י מְאֹ֜ד בַּת־צִיֹּ֗ון הָרִ֙יעִי֙ בַּ֣ת יְרוּשָׁלִַ֔ם הִנֵּ֤ה מַלְכֵּךְ֙ יָ֣בֹוא לָ֔ךְ צַדִּ֥יק וְנֹושָׁ֖ע ה֑וּא עָנִי֙ וְרֹכֵ֣ב עַל־חֲמֹ֔ור וְעַל־עַ֖יִר בֶּן־אֲתֹנֹֽות׃

10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle-bow shall be cut off. And he shall speak peace unto the nations; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.

10 וְהִכְרַתִּי־רֶ֣כֶב מֵאֶפְרַ֗יִם וְסוּס֙ מִיר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם וְנִכְרְתָה֙ קֶ֣שֶׁת מִלְחָמָ֔ה וְדִבֶּ֥ר שָׁלֹ֖ום לַגֹּויִ֑ם וּמָשְׁלֹו֙ מִיָּ֣ם עַד־יָ֔ם וּמִנָּהָ֖ר עַד־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃

11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant, I will send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

11 גַּם־אַ֣תְּ בְּדַם־בְּרִיתֵ֗ךְ שִׁלַּ֤חְתִּי אֲסִירַ֙יִךְ֙³ מִבֹּ֔ור אֵ֥ין מַ֖יִם בֹּֽו׃

12 Turn again to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! even to-day do I declare I will render double unto thee.

12 וּבוּ לְבִצָּרֹ֔ון אֲסִירֵ֖י הַתִּקְוָ֑ה גַּם־הַיֹּ֕ום מַגִּ֥יד מִשְׁנֶ֖ה אָשִׁ֥יב לָֽךְ׃

13 For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will raise up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and make thee like the sword of a mighty man.

13 כִּֽי־דָרַ֨כְתִּי לִ֜י יְהוּדָ֗ה קֶ֚שֶׁת מִלֵּ֣אתִי אֶפְרַ֔יִם וְעֹורַרְתִּ֤י בָנַ֙יִךְ֙ צִיֹּ֔ון עַל־בָּנַ֖יִךְ יָוָ֑ן וְשַׂמְתִּ֖יךְ כְּחֶ֥רֶב גִּבֹּֽור׃

14 And Jehovah shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will march with whirlwinds of the south.

14 וַֽיהוָה֙ עֲלֵיהֶ֣ם יֵֽרָאֶ֔ה וְיָצָ֥א כַבָּרָ֖ק חִצֹּ֑ו וַֽאדֹנָ֤י יְהֹוִה֙ בַּשֹּׁופָ֣ר יִתְקָ֔ע וְהָלַ֖ךְ בְּסַעֲרֹ֥ות תֵּימָֽן׃

15 Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as from wine; and they shall be filled like a bowl, like the corners of the altar.

15 יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאֹות֮ יָגֵ֣ן עֲלֵיהֶם֒ וְאָכְל֗וּ וְכָֽבְשׁוּ֙ אַבְנֵי־קֶ֔לַע וְשָׁת֥וּ הָמ֖וּ כְּמֹו־יָ֑יִן וּמָֽלְאוּ֙ כַּמִּזְרָ֔ק כְּזָוִיֹּ֖ות מִזְבֵּֽחַ׃

16 And Jehovah their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people; for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up upon his land.

16 וְֽהֹושִׁיעָ֞ם יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֛ם בַּיֹּ֥ום הַה֖וּא כְּצֹ֣אן עַמֹּ֑ו כִּ֚י אַבְנֵי־נֵ֔זֶר מִֽתְנֹוסְסֹ֖ות עַל־אַדְמָתֹֽו׃

17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.

17 כִּ֥י מַה־טּוּבֹ֖ו וּמַה־יָפְיֹ֑ו דָּגָן֙ בַּֽחוּרִ֔ים וְתִירֹ֖ושׁ יְנֹובֵ֥ב בְּתֻלֹֽות׃
